you’re right , Im one who shouldnt have dissed the guy based on current numbers .
but yeah , it is a PLing forum …waddya expect[/quote]
I actually wasn’t even referring to you
To Fruit guy… If you are happy with what you got going on then that’s all that matters. If you are looking for validation or encouragement on internet forums you likely won’t get much if any. Who cares, do your thing man and enjoy it. Lifting weights is a hobby. Few if any on here get paid to do it. we all are just a bunch of guys and gals who enjoy this sport ( at least we should be) in it’s various forms despite the arguing and shit talking that seems to plague this site…
Not that it’s even necessary but I’m calling BS on his 225x20 bench claim. He can barely bench 240x4 w/ ass undoubtedly coming way off the bench.
I also think it’s funny he’s claiming to be “extremely strong”

He may be on to something here…

x2 I’ve given thought recently to the prospect of quoting myself. Why quote those people when I’m just as good as them?

That video could have been shot at my first trip to the YMCA. The bodyweight, terrible form, and trying to “max out” all the bench press-like machines brings me back to the good ol’ days.
If he wasn’t trolling then the video of actual bench pressing would surely have been used. Pretty strong for his bodyweight vs. lol wtf
therefore, I call troll

He’s got a video of it too. Can’t tell depth, but it’s certainly not quarter squats, so no hate there.
He seems to be an enthusiastic dude who really just wants to get both his name and his lifestyle in the public eye. Especially since what he’s doing has the potential to be trendy/have followers. He’s all over some 30banana website also, although I didn’t take the time to see what they’re about (seems to be people who already think like him).
His message doesn’t sit well with us, but since he hasn’t posted anything else here, it seems like he’s unfamiliar with T Nation and is just broadcasting his message to anyone who will listen. Obviously we have listened, given the view-count and responses to this thread.
did someone say something?

Ahhh, my b
Its actually pretty frustating now realizing how much money me and my dad have wasted on protein supps. I’m gonna switch to the all fruit diet now that i’m under a month away from raw nats. Hopefully its not too late so i can break the squat record for my weight class fueled by fruit!
If you preface all your posts and youtube videos by saying youre EXTREMELY strong and lifting TONS of weight you can fuck off
THIS GUY’S A REAL FRUIT!
get it?
do ya?
I like how on the last machine, he said the incline bench machine with 3 plates/side was 300lbs, then added a plate to each side and said it was 360lbs.
